We - family of three, youngest is 4. - Will be in Bali, can't wait, during Nyepi 2007. March 19th.
1). Is there an ogoh-ogoh procession in Sanur? I understand the largest one's are in Denpasar and Bemo Corner in Kuta. I would be concerned about getting transport back to Sanur, where we are staying on Nyepi eve. Or ...is there usually a taxi around? Would a 4yr old appreciate this parade? What time do they usually begin?
2). For the day of Nyepi we plan to have stocked snacks, water, dvd's, etc. Are we asked to stay in our room or is using the pool/gardens of the hotel allowed? Staff is expected to be at a minimum so they may enjoy the celebration. Will most hotels have the kithens closed?
3). We hope to catch a boat the next morning, March 20th, to Lembongan. Is this reasonable? Will boat transport be running and will Lembongan be on "holiday!" -so close to Nyepi?
I am looking forward to being in Bali during this special time. Can't wait!!! I'm using BTF everyday. Thanks so much.
